Phil. 1:20 | Aug 16-20 | Barrie, ON

As never before, the world is living in a time of unprecedented turmoil and crisis. Polarization in the political world, confusion in the religious world, and social injustices are on the rise—which leaves many feeling hopeless. Questions and doubts swirl in our minds and we ask ourselves, how can we get ready for what's coming, and more importantly, how can we be ready for God's return?

We invite you on a journey of learning, exchange, and personal connection with the only one who can provide it: God. This year, in our conference, By Life or by Death, we will glorify Him, and search for answers through workshops, prayer sessions, outreach opportunities, ministry, and fellowship. Surrounded by God's nature, and like-minded youth, you will experience GYC in a new way. So, cozy on up to the fire and join us on this adventure as we delve into God's Word, sing songs of praise, learn new skills, and grow closer to God in prayer.

Join us from Wednesday, 16 August 2023 4:00 PM to Sunday, 20 August 2023 12:00 PM (EST) at 5867 County Rd 9, New Lowell, ON L0M 1N0

According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
